The Wainuioru Eabbit Trustees met on Saturday last, and, we understand, found a difficulty in ascertaining their powers under the new Act. It was clear that till the new districts are gazetted the present Trustees retnin office, but it was doubtful whether they could discharge the functions entrusted to them under, tlin old Act. The question has been reroiued lo the Government, fur i|s opinion. We hope that there will ho no suspension of W"tk on the part of any Trust, as the result of inactivity for a month or two at this tonion of the year would undo all that ILias Jutbfiito hesu accomplished, j

Some f:.w months since (writes the N, Z. Times) the Government decided to endeavor, if possible to have a clock for the new Government Iluildiugs in the course of erection for Ti:naru manufactured in the colony, and with this object in view, called for tenders in the citi s of Wellington, Auckland, Clmstchurcli, and Dniiftlin. A number of manufacturers tendered, (he lowest and most satisfactory being that ol Messrs W. Littejolm and Son, Lamblon-quav, Wellington, whose price for the si hednlcd work was i'loo less than that of a Dimedh firm, whose tender wits the second lowest. The work was put in hand at once, and the result is that to-day we are in r position to announce that another pew local industry lias hoe", lulled to our list of manufactories. The clock is the largest that has yet been made 111 New Zealand. It lias four skeleton dials, each of which is 6 feet in diameter.

They have also just received direct from the man ufuct titers a large assort men t. of shears, which they are selling at Wellington wholesale price. Wairarapa storekeepers can be supplied at reasonable terms.— [ADVTj It is a fact that Messrs Gardener and Son sold last season more sheep shears than the whole of the Wairarapa storekeepers combined, and this season it is their intention to offer the 100 pairs which tliov have imported at less than Wellington wholesale prices. We cannot understand how this well-known firm sell all their goods so wonderfully cheap. Their stock is splendidly assorted, and we would call snecial attention to their magnificent stock of drapery, which surpasses nnv we have yet seen in the Wairarapa.
